Re: Spurs Fans Community Off-Topic Thread
Hey ezealen, did you catch the new episode of American Dad on Adult Swim last night? I know this sounds stupid, but I was surprised that I've never seen it before, because I thought Adult Swim's definition of "new" was that it was new to them. I never saw the episode they aired on Thursday on Fox, so that has me wondering now. Anywho, another very good episode. American Dad has really taken off as a great show now IMO.

I didn't really understand some of your post, but describe the episode to me so I can tell ya if I've seen it.
Even if this episode was it's best yet, I would never call a great show. I don't hate it. I actually enjoy it, but it's way too much like Family Guy and I want something new. Yeah, Family Guy is one of the greatest shows ever created, but I don't want to watch 50 T.V. shows that are almost identical.

Adult Swim aired an episode of American Dad I've never seen before. I enjoyed it.

50 identical TV shows? Whatever. There's similar humor, but to me the shows aren't so alike that it turns me away. I think if you never even knew that the same guy produced both shows that you would even think they were that similar.

I've seen on TV Houston is a no man's land right now... scary images...
Good luck to all of you in Texas and hopefully it won't be as bad as predicted last week... fingers crossed.

If I didn't know the same guy made the show I wouldn't watch it period. I'd be too pissed that he'd have stolen a brilliant show. The families are nearly identical. Just change Stewy into a fish and Brian into a gay alien and there you go. I mean, even the fathers' bosses are nearly identical. I'm not saying it's not a good show. I'm just saying it's not a new show.
BTW, you still haven't told me what happened in that episode.

Well, the worst is over thankfully, and it wasn't anywhere near as bad as predicted. They were first planning on making a new category, category 6, for this hurricane; but it quickly diminished into a category 3 before it hit the shore and now it's no more than a tropical storm. I'm even more worried about New Orleans now though. What the heck are they ganna do with it now?

And where do you think Family Guy got it's foundation of characters? Let's see, Homer (Peter), Marge (Louis), Bart (Chris), Lisa (Meg), and Maggie (Stewie). Add the capability to talk to Santa's Little Helper, and then you have Brian. Yes, those characters aren't all that similar, but neither are Family Guy's and American Dad's. I don't want to get all technical with this, but some of the arguments you have made seem to apply closely to the Simpsons and Family Guy shows as well.
Plus, watch American Dad and Family Guy back to back. It's the same type of humor, but it's not the same exact show. If you think Family Guy and American Dad are close, I suggest you sit back and think about how close the Simpsons and Family Guy are, then ask yourself why you don't dislike Family Guy for being close to the Simpsons. Again, I don't want to get all technical, but after watching American Dad and Family Guy, it isn't the same show, but both are damn funny.

Basically, Stan's son (Steve?) starts learning about Sex Education in school, and when Stan hears about this he decides to teach his son about it himself. Stan tells his son that the master...fill in the rest yourself is evil, and that he should never do it. Turns out that Stan gets a wound on his special guy area, and he's given cream to rub on his burn in his special guy area. Next thing you know, Stan starts doing the very thing he told his son that was evil, and Steve catches his Dad doing it. Pretty funny episode.

Oh boy, a win over the lowly 49ers. The Cowboys have a ways to go before they can compete for a playoff spot. I think they will lose next week to the Raiders.

Why you so pessimistic all the time, Koko? Every game matters, especially ones where you come from behind and win it at the last second. I seem to remember a certain monkey celebrating the spurs double OT victory over the Clippers, the lowly clippers. As for the Raiders, it'll definitely be their toughest game yet, but I think they can take them. Hopefully they do, cause we have to face the Giants and the Eagles next.
BTW, why does it say you're a mod in this forum again? Is it cause TheRoc5 won't be here for a while and Texan's presence is hardly even noticed now?
